Your home is your oasis. An organized and comfortable home can have a calming effect on you and visitors, as well as be your personal escape from the rest of the world. Creating this nurturing space isn’t difficult. Even a household that includes young children, multiple animals, rotating roommates and small spaces, can be a serene and peaceful place. Truly, in just a few minutes you can make changes that can turn your home into a safe and comfortable haven for you, loved ones and friends.
One way to fill your house or apartment with calming energy is to imbue it with a peaceful ambiance that nurtures all five senses. Soft lighting and soothing colors like blue, purple, and green can make a space feel warm and inviting, while pleasant and calming aromas such as lavender and vanilla have been shown to positively affect moods. Peaceful sounds, like gentle chimes or wind through open windows can feel uplifting, while clearing clutter and making the most of open space can create more ease.
The changes you make to your home can be as unique as you are and may involve utilization of space, lighting, new furniture, decorating, feng shui, or ritual. But what you do is not as important as being clear in your intention to set up your household as a soothing and refreshing place to be. Make your home a place of comfort, and you will feel nurtured and cared for whenever you are there.
